Box 716, Khartoum. bushara3000@yahoo.comAminM.HHabbaniIbrahimBusharaDafalla.MMekki201401252014021220140212This study was conducted in El-Obeid, North Kordofan State, Sudan with the objective of evaluating the effects of inclusion of different levels of watermelon bug meal (WMBM) as a substitute for sorghum grains in rations on broiler chick’s performance. One day old unsexed 200 broiler chicks with an average weight of 40g /bird were used in an experiment designed as completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and four replicates. At the beginning of the experiment the chicks were fed a pre-starter ration for one week and then offered five rations prepared using (WMBM) at 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 percent. The rations were offered twice a day. Chicks were weighed weekly during the experimental period. The collected data were analyzed using analysis of varianceThe results indicated that feed intake of broiler chicks increased significantly (P <0.05) with inclusion of WMBM. The chicks consumed 67, 89, 94, 97 and 97 g/day/bird when the WMBM constituted 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 percent in the rations respectively. The final body weight followed the same trend where the groups weighed 1332.5, 2130, 2100.6, 1922.5 and 1772.3 g for the birds that consumed rations of 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 percent (WMBM) respectively. Weight gains and feed conversion ratio were also significantly (P <0.05) improved. It was concluded that WMBM could replace sorghum grains as source of energy in broiler rations and it was recommended that more studies be carried out to investigate effects of inclusion of the WMBM on weight of cuts and meat quality.
